Have not been on the website for a while but getting ready to graduate in May with a certificate of specialization in Patient Access Specialist. Also, to recap I do have an associates degree in administrative and office support, I am getting ready to complete another program at my local community college in medical billing and coding. So my question is if anyone can give me feedback or opinion. To make a long story short, I filed chapter 7 back in 2020 but was discharged in 2020. So looking to finally get the guts to apply at my local clinics, hospitals, etc. So my real question is since I know I had some past debts with these potential companies I want to apply to but were discharged, should I pass on applying and move on? I have been wanting to get into these bigger healthcare systems for some time, but feel that may be held against me. Thanks to anyone who would be able to give me some advice or has anyone been in this situation?

Unless they're running a credit check, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Even if they know about your debt, if it's been discharged, it shouldn't be an issue. Your past financial issues shouldn't hold you back from moving forward with your new career path! Apply to the jobs you want that match your skills and interests regardless of location. Emphasize your skills and your focus on being an asset to the company in interviews. Anything beyond that is irrelevant, so don't bring it up or dwell on it. Good luck with your search!
